How do I show a map from a Mapbox Project with the Mapbox iOS SDK?

Question

I've created a Project (Map?) at https://www.mapbox.com/editor , which has given me a "Map ID". After a bunch of googling and searching, I finally worked out that (I think?) you're supposed to embed this Map ID within a URL and pass it in to the -[MGLMapView initWithFrame:styleURL:] initializer method. I've tried the following:

NSURL *styleURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"mapbox://my_username.abcdef123455"];
self.mapView = [[MGLMapView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds styleURL:styleURL];

But I get the following in the debugging console:

[ERROR] {Map}[Setup]: loading style failed: HTTP status code 401

Am I setting it up wrong? Do I need to enable permissions or something in the Mapbox admin UI?

Update 1

I just discovered that the online docs at https://www.mapbox.com/ios-sdk/api/Classes/MGLMapView.html say that the URL should be in the form mapbox://styles/<user>/<style> . When I try that, I got the following crash on thread "Map":

malloc: * mach_vm_map(size=685248512) failed (error code=3)
* error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::bad_alloc: std::bad_alloc

This is the relevant part of the stack trace:

Answer 1

The fundamental issue here is that raster maps created with the editor are not compatible with GL styles . The new Mapbox Studio (that's currently in private beta) is our tool for creating GL-compatible maps.

Loading a GL style with Mapbox iOS SDK is done like so:

NSURL *styleURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v8"];    
self.mapView = [[MGLMapView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds styleURL:styleURL];

Where mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v8 is a default style that follows the mapbox://styles/user/styleHash pattern.

(In any case, a malformed style URL should not crash and we'll make that more robust .)

I created a new Access Token and use info.plist . Now it's working fine.

Answer 3

The order somehow matters. Make sure put this parameters in info.plist "MGLMapboxAccessToken" with new generated token and rebuild the project. It should work
